Abstract: An apparatus for detection and analysis of optical systems. Prior art system s exploit the phenomenon of photon scattering in order to range the distance o f objects from the ranging apparatus. However, no information other than the distance of the target object is obtained from such systems. There is therefore provided an apparatus that exploits the technique of single photon  counting and the phenomenon of retro reflection to provide information about  a target optical system. Such information can be analysed and compared against  known optical systems to provide a means of identification. Alternatively su ch information can be used as a method of quality control when constructing precision optical instruments such as telescopes or microscopes.

Title: Advanced high speed, multi-level uncooled bolometer and method for fabricating same
Inventor: RAY MICHAEL
IPC: H01L37/00
Filed: 2002-05-15
Abstract: A microbolometer unit cell (10) includes a substantially planar upper-level incident radiation absorption and detection structure (24), a substantially planar middle-level radiation reflection structure (26) spaced apart from the upper-level incident radiation absorption and detection structure for defining an optical resonant cavity (36) there between and a substantially planar lower-level thermal isolation leg structure (20) spaced apart from the middle-level radiation reflection structure and electrically coupled to the upper-level incident radiation absorption and detection structure and to an underlying readout circuit. The lower-level thermal isolation leg structure is electrically coupled to the upper-level incident radiation absorption and detection structure through a leg (44) that passes through an aperture (48) within the middle-level radiation reflection structure, the leg also functioning as a structural support member. The lower-level thermal isolation leg structure is electrically coupled to the readout circuit through another leg (18) that terminates on an electrical contact (16) disposed on an underlying readout integrated circuit (12), and the middle-level radiation reflection structure is supported by an extension of the leg (18A). It is within the scope of these teachings that the upper-level incident radiation absorption and detection structure includes a stiffening member (50), such as one disposed frame-like about a periphery of the upper-level incident radiation absorption and detection structure. The resonant optical cavity is defined by a spacing that is a function of a wavelength of the incident radiation, and an adjacently disposed unit cell of an array of unit cells may have a resonant optical cavity having a different spacing, thereby providing enhanced sensitivity to a different wavelength.

Patent CA-2424048-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and device for producing stacks from continuously supplied, flat articles
Inventor: GOESSLINGHOFF REINHARD
IPC: B65H31/06
Filed: 2003-03-31
Abstract: For being stacked, flat articles, in particular printed products, are supplied to a feed point in an imbricated stream, in which they overlap one another and are arranged standing substantially upright. In the feed point, their leading edge is pushed against an aligning element arranged transverse to the supply direction and  thereby they are redirected at right angles and arranged in a stack-like arrangement, The stack-like arrangement grows in the stacking direction into a receiving device, being laterally guided and being supported at its downstream end by a supporting element.  Distanced in the stacking direction from the feed point a condensing means is provided for accelerating the articles in the stack-like arrangement towards the supporting element in such a manner, that a downstream part of the stack-like arrangement is condensed and a feed-side part is kept loose. For detaching a discrete stack from the stack-like arrangement, a separating element is utilised for splitting up the supplied imbricated stream and for pushing the loose part of the stack-like arrangement against the condensed part. Thereupon the receiving device carrying the stack is replaced with an empty receiving device and the separating element is removed. Stacking comprising supplying the articles to a loose part of a stack-like arrangement, is gentle on the articles anti therefore applicable without problems for articles with little stability. For detaching a stack from the stack-like arrangement the supply stream does not have to be interrupted.

Title: Method and device for making a support bearing a plurality of different polynucleotide and/or peptide sequences
Inventor: MARTIN JEAN-RENE
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 2000-09-27
Abstract: The invention concerns the manufacture of electronic micro-sensors (chips) for analysing nucleotide and/or peptide sequences. The object is to fix at the surface of said chips a very large number of various probe sequences easily and economically. The method aims at making arrays of sequence probes on a support by anchoring and/or local chemical synthesis in the presence of volatile solvents. Said method is characterised in that it consists in using a support whereon is produced a grid of reaction wells made of light-cured (epoxy) resin; in placing the support in a reaction chamber which is saturated with vapours of the synthesis solvent (acetonitrile); in finally producing the anchorage and optionally the localised chemical synthesis in situ of the probe sequences in the wells using a localised supply of liquids/reagents in each well corresponding to a specific probe-sequence, and in supplying collectively the wells with common liquids/reagents and in ensuring that prior to each localised supply operation the liquid contained in each well is eliminated. The invention also concerns a device for implementing said method.
